Author of Papaya Flower This recipe reminds me of my grandmother’s simple but delicious home cooking, the combination of chilies and ginger gives a truly Manadonese flavor. However where the Manadonese like to boil the pumpkin, I prefer to steam or roast it. When choosing a pumpkin, look for one with a yellowish-orange skin.
